SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Title 19, part 122 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (19 CFR part 122)
sets forth regulations relating to the
entry and clearance of aircraft in
international commerce and the
transportation of persons and cargo by
aircraft in international commerce.
Generally, a civil aircraft arriving from
a place outside of the United States is
required to land at an airport designated
as an international airport.
Alternatively, the pilot of a civil aircraft
may request permission to land at a
specific airport and, if landing rights are
granted, the civil aircraft may land at
that landing rights airport.
Section 236 of the Trade and Tariff
Act of 1984 (Pub. L. 98–573, 98 stat.
2948, 2994 (1984)), codified at 19 U.S.C.
58b, created an option for civil aircraft
desiring to land at an airport other than
an international airport or a landing
rights airport. A civil aircraft arriving
from a place outside of the United States
may ask for permission to land at an
airport designated by the Secretary of
Homeland Security 1 as a user fee
airport.
Pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 58b, an airport
may be designated as a user fee airport
if the Commissioner of CBP, as
delegated by the Secretary of Homeland
Security, determines that the volume or
value of business at the airport is
insufficient to justify the availability of
customs services at the airport and the
governor of the state in which the
airport is located approves the
designation.2 As the volume or value of
business anticipated at this type of
airport is insufficient to justify its
designation as an international or
landing rights airport, the availability of
1 Sections 403(1) and 411 of the Homeland
Security Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107–296, 116 stat.
2135, 2178–79 (2002)), codified at 6 U.S.C. 203(1)
and 211, transferred certain functions, including the
authority to designate user fee facilities, from the
U.S. Customs Service of the Department of the
Treasury to the Department of Homeland Security.
2 In addition to airports, 19 U.S.C. 58b also
authorizes the designation of seaports or other
facilities as user fee facilities.

customs services is not paid for out of
appropriations from the general treasury
of the United States. Instead, customs
services are provided on a fully
reimbursable basis to be paid for by the
user fee airport. The fees charged must
be paid by the user fee airport and must
be in the amount equal to the expenses
incurred by the Commissioner of CBP in
providing customs services at such
airport, including the salary and
expenses of those employed by the
Commissioner of CBP to provide the
customs services. See 19 U.S.C. 58b.
The Commissioner of CBP designates
airports as user fee airports in
accordance with 19 U.S.C. 58b and
pursuant to 19 CFR 122.15. If the
Commissioner decides that the
conditions for designation as a user fee
airport are satisfied, a Memorandum of
Agreement (MOA) is executed between
the Commissioner of CBP and the user
fee airport sponsor. The user fee status
designation may be withdrawn if either
CBP or the airport authority provides
120 days written notice of termination
to the other party. See 19 CFR
122.15(c)(1). In this manner, user fee
airports are designated and withdrawn
on a case-by-case basis.
Section 122.15 of CBP’s regulations
also sets forth the list of designated user
fee airports. Periodically, CBP updates
the list of user fee airports at 19 CFR
122.15(b) to reflect those that are
currently designated by the
Commissioner of CBP.
Recent Changes Requiring Updates to
the List of User Fee Airports
This document updates the list of user
fee airports in 19 CFR 122.15(b) by
adding Griffiss International Airport in
Rome, New York; Van Nuys Airport in
Van Nuys, California; Cobb County
Airport-McCollum Field in Kennesaw,
Georgia; and Charlotte-Monroe
Executive Airport in Monroe, North
Carolina. The Commissioner of CBP has
signed an MOA designating each of
these four airports as a user fee airport.3
Additionally, this document updates
the list of user fee airports by removing
Meadows Field Airport in Bakersfield,
California. After an initial request by the
airport authority of Meadows Field
Airport to withdraw its user fee status,
the airport authority and CBP agreed to
terminate their MOA and the user fee
status of Meadows Field Airport. On
November 23, 2016, the Commissioner
3 The Commissioner of CBP signed an MOA
designating Griffiss International Airport on March
3, 2015, an MOA designating Van Nuys Airport on
April, 17, 2015, an MOA designating Cobb County

MOA designating Charlotte-Monroe Executive

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 225 / Friday, November 24, 2017 / Rules and Regulations
of CBP provided written notice to the
airport authority of Meadows Field
Airport that the user fee status of
Meadows Field Airport was terminated.
Amendments to Regulations
Part 122, of title 19 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (19 CFR part 122) is
amended as set forth below:
Inapplicability of Public Notice and
Delayed Effective Date Requirements
PART 122—AIR COMMERCE
REGULATIONS
Under the Administrative Procedure
Act (5 U.S.C. 553(b)), an agency is
exempted from the prior public notice
and comment procedures if it finds, for
good cause, that they are impracticable,
unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest. This final rule makes a
conforming change by updating the list
of user fee airports to add four airports
that have already been designated by the
Commissioner of CBP in accordance
with 19 U.S.C. 58b as user fee airports
and to remove one airport from the list,
the designation of which has already
been withdrawn by the Commissioner of
CBP. Because this conforming rule has
no substantive impact, is technical in
nature, and does not impose additional
burdens on or take away any existing
rights or privileges from the public, CBP
finds for good cause that the prior
public notice and comments procedures
are impracticable, unnecessary, and
contrary to the public interest. For the
same reasons, pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
553(d)(3), a delayed effective date is not
required.
1. The general authority citation for
part 122 continues to read as follows:

‘‘Rome, New York,’’ and ‘‘Van Nuys,

amendment does not meet the criteria
for a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ as
specified in Executive Order 12866.

SUMMARY:
I. Background
On May 12, 2016, the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) published a final rule (81 FR
29624) with an effective date of January
1, 2017, for the final rule’s electronic
reporting requirements. Under these
requirements, certain employers were
required to electronically submit 2016
Form 300A data to OSHA by July 1,
2017.
On June 28, 2017, the Department
proposed to delay the initial deadline
for electronic submission of 2016 Form
300A data from July 1, 2017, to
December 1, 2017, to provide the new
administration the opportunity to
review the new electronic reporting
requirements prior to their
implementation and allow affected
entities sufficient time to familiarize
themselves with the electronic reporting
system, which was not made available
until August 1, 2017 (82 FR 29261).
On August 14, 2017, the Occupational

Pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 58b, an airport may be designated as a user

currently designated by the Commissioner of CBP.
Recent Changes Requiring Updates to the List of User Fee Airports
This document updates the list of user fee airports in 19 CFR
122.15(b) by adding Griffiss International Airport in Rome, New York;
Van Nuys Airport in Van Nuys, California; Cobb County Airport-McCollum
Field in Kennesaw, Georgia; and Charlotte-Monroe Executive Airport in
Monroe, North Carolina. The Commissioner of CBP has signed an MOA

by removing Meadows Field Airport in Bakersfield, California. After an
initial request by the airport authority of Meadows Field Airport to
withdraw its user fee status, the airport authority and CBP agreed to
terminate their MOA and the user fee status of Meadows Field Airport.
On November 23, 2016, the Commissioner

Because no notice of proposed rulemaking is required, the
provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) do
not apply. This amendment does not meet the criteria for a
